Copy Form Text
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to copy text from a form in word 2003 so as I can paste the text to another file, I can't select any text as it's in a form so I have created a command button to copy text to clipboard but can someone help with a macro to attach to the button to copy all text in document. Regards Mark |

Copy Form Text
If you are trying to copy an entire form, using the Insert File dialog box will
be the easiest solution. Create a new document. Click Insert | File. Locate the protected document and click it. Then click the Insert button. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "terilad" wrote in message ...

Copy Form Text
While Stefan's suggestion is certainly viable, what's the point of this
exercise? If you want to create a new form to fill then a better option would be to save the form as a template and create new documents from it. If you want to extract data from the form then see http://www.gmayor.com/ExtractDataFromForms.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "terilad" wrote in message ...
